The daughter of Seeram Singh, a fuel dealer who was killed last April, was on Tuesday evening robbed when bandits invaded her Parika Outfall, East Bank Essequibo (EBE) home.
The incident occurred around 18:50h while 27-year-old Bonita Lallaram was at home alone.
A section of the house that was ransacked
According to reports, the woman was on her bed when she was startled by a hand on her neck. Before she could react, a tissue was placed over her nose and she passed out.
The bandits then ransacked the entire house carting off an undisclosed sum of money and jewellery.
Lallaram’s husband, who had gone to pick up the couple’s nine-year-old, returned home and sent the child in search of his mother, while he parked his car.
The boy then reportedly stumbled upon his mother passed out on her bed with the tissue stuffed in her mouth. He then alerted his father who ran upstairs.
The man related to Guyana Times that he removed the tissue after which he applied Limacol to his wife’s face.
“When she regained consciousness, she started to hold on me in a traumatised state,” he recounted.
According to the man, his wife related that she did not hear anything before she was attacked and only felt the tissue being placed on her face.
Neighbours reportedly did not hear or see anyone entering or leaving the house.
The matter was reported to the Parika Police Station; however, the family was displeased with their response.
According to Lallaram’s husband, two Police Officers went to the house, but spent a limited amount of time before leaving.
The man also disclosed that currently, the men charged with the killing of his father-in-law were on trial and the family has received numerous threats.
His father-in-law was attacked by armed bandits and shot three times to his body and head.
He succumbed while en route to the Leonora Hospital, West Coast Demerara (WCD).
The family is calling on the authorities to carefully investigate the matter.
